Nineteen Eighty Four

This is a dual purpose utility.

1. It will check how many posts you've made since since the last post-limit reset.

It will then tell you how many you have left, and how long until that number resets again.

Note: If you've deleted any posts today, answered asks, or posted to any sideblogs you have fewer left than shown!

For details, see limitations.

2. It also gives you a bunch of information about anyone's blog you're curious about.

What is post limit?

Tumblr allocates you a max of 250 posts per day. A “day” runs from midnight to midnight, New York time, regardless of where you live. When that time comes around - the "post limit reset" - you get a new batch of 250.

This site tells you how many you have left and how long till the "reset" (when you'll have 250 again).

tl;dr: 250 posts per day!

What is NSFW? Explicit? Adult?

NSFW is a relatively popular (in the US, anyway) slang word that refers to "adult content" - typically nudity or sexual content, but also could include graphic violence and other stuff. It actually stands for "Not Safe For Work", referring to the fact that it would be inappropriate to be viewing such material while you're on the job (at least for most jobs!).

Tumblr asks that you voluntarily flag your blog as NSFW if you post or reblog such content. That helps them screen such material from viewers who'd prefer not to see it. There's a switch in your settings where you do that. Previously it was actually labelled "NSFW", though Tumblr has since relabelled it "Adult Content". I'm still using the original terminology on this site though.

If the site says a blog is NSFW, it simply means the owner has chosen to activate that setting,i.e. this site just shows what the owner's own setting for what their own blog is.

NOTE: At their discretion, Tumblr may set this "for you" in which case you may not be able to turn it back off without first contacting them.

7 July 2017: Tumblr has re-labeled it again, it's now called "explicit". A subset of these blogs are also flagged by tumblr as "adult" - you don't have control over this. This causes your icon/avatar to be "pixelated" (basically hidden) on the dash, but beyond that it's not know what "adult" does or why tumblr sometimes sets it.

Tumblr is now saying all explicit blogs will be soon be "viewable only by logged in users who have safe mode off".

It remains to be seen how they do this, hopefully it will be better than the redirect hack they now use when you voluntarily request you blog be "hidden". That hack uses an awkward redirect to send the viewer to an annoying inset window. You no longer have a theme, archive, links or much of anything else. Additionally this postlimit website will no longer work for you.

tl;dr: sex and stuff
